Yorkie Pre-Gloat

[Mike Weaver]

Folks,
Since Father's day and my B-Day are so close together, my family often combines these into one gift.

Well, this year was certainly one that's more than your garden variety end-of-school project...

LOML has agreed to gt me the Yorkcraft 8" jointer!! <img>

I took a look at them on the way home yesterday and had to apologize for drooling on the equipment.

I'll post pics after it arrives and gets moved to the basement.

Cheers and I hope everyone else had a great Father's Day.

-Mike
PS I'll also be posting pics of my craftsman 6" jointer that will go up for sale to make room for it's bigger cousin soon.

Mike,

Congrats on the jointer! I moved up from a Craftsman 6" as well and man there is no comparrison!!

P.s. I also sent you a pm.

Mike, I saw this on another forum, thought you might check to see if the price was still good.

Hi Everyone! I'm from Wilke Machinery and we have an unadvertised special to announce. We're overstocked on the Yorkcraft YC-8J jointer and have reduced the price to only $599. Also, take advantage of our $30 freight discount special (valid until June 11, 2005) on this machine when you call in your order -- or place your order online. This special applies to YC-8J jointers that are currently in stock - no backorders. Thanks!

Hello again! This is Wilke Machinery Company with an update on our YC-8J blowout. We've received numerous requests for quotes for the YC-8J with the USA made Byrd Shelix head so I'm posting the package deal. YC-8J shipped with both the factory installed cutterhead AND the Byrd Shelix head - - - ONLY $999.

<snip tempting offer>


Scott,
Yeah, I saw that too, but unfortunately the budget won't allow it now. I do plan to upgrade to the shelix later.

Thanks for the push. <img>

Mike my bday is also near to Father's day so I get the double whammy also. Also I used to live in Shrewsbury, Mass. Coincidence? :D

Mike, I got the Yorkcraft a few months ago. Its a great machine from a great company.

[Mike Weaver]

Matt,
Glad to hear about another happy owner!

Did you happen to get the shelix for it?
I'm curious about how difficult the install is for when I do take that plunge...
